Bran Mac Born's NTW 3 Single Player Campaign AI Settings

[Marechal Nicholas Davout]

Does this allow automatically for 40 units or do we have to do something first to make it 40?

You have to make the modification separately as detailed elsewhere on the forum. I will be posting some screens of a pretty epic battle I have coming up against Buonaparte, I haven't had the time (it will take about 4 or 5 hours!) so far since Christmas, but I'll post the screens when they're ready with some captions. Sorry to keep you waiting Bran.

UPDATE: Upped unit cap 20%, Elite units 15% better accuracy and defensive skills, H.Cav get 25% better charge bonus, Lancers get 15% better charge bonus, Light Cav get 10% better charge bonus, reconfigured AI invasion possibility with bigger armies-France should invade by summer 1805, all other factions a bit more aggressive, factions should defend homeland better, Ai should spend more money on armies. Battles last longer=EPIC Both versions Feed back is helpful

Because I wanted to get the battle done, the gods of course conspired against me, but to their chagrin they have instead played into my plans by getting me a new job. I haven't yet got my shift times though so I might be able to do it on monday. Basically as and when. In any case it is so large I have been having trouble planning it out...

Good Luck, we are looking forward to the results

[fireship4]

The battle is over, and it was epic indeed. Now I have to sort through all of these screenshots...

[Bran Mac Born]

Looking forward to it! Bring on the Epicness!

Every test game starting in May 1806 I cannot recruit any units in Berlin! WTF? This is a game killing bug. Have Army Staff College. What is the cause of this? Can it be fixed. Anybody out there experiencing this? Any other factions have it?

[Bran Mac Born]

UPDATE: Better faction expansion, better naval trade, better regional development. French more aggressive, better faction army builds-AI will build armies. All versions. Save game compatible.

I had the same problem when I was modifying the technologies just prior to the release of the NTW3 v3.7 SP Campaign. When I returned them to their original configuration the recruitment bar problem in Berlin cleared up. I suggest you try reversing your tech changes.

[Bran Mac Born]

Thanks Lord Davn for pointing me in the right direction. I fixed the problem and can now continue with my testing Uploaded new files Now to battle those feisty French

[Bran Mac Born]

UPDATE: New army mix balance, unit cap raised for naval units, increased movement points for ships on campaign map 50%, naval priorities balanced for better naval invasions, navies attack more, AI will spend more on armies, gave France 10% more unit movement points on campaign map, Factions will group armies to make massive invasion assaults-so defend well 40 unit version AI should build bigger armies. Both versions. save game compatible. Let's have some feedback

[ayrond091]

how does the 40 unit campaign works? 40 units under 1 general? because mine is not working i downloaded post #15

[Bran Mac Born]

Go to this post and follow the directions. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...Success/page13

[Bran Mac Born]

UPDATE: Better AI faction invasions with massive armies Let the carnage begin
All versions. And let's have some F E E D B A CK please

[Bran Mac Born]

UPDATE: Change behavior of AI armies when you invade their regions-they will be more stubborn and not run away. So they will defend better. Both versions. This is it for now-got to go back and play some more

Is this save game compatible? Assuming that it is, here is some feedback based on a few hours of testing:

1) I'm not noticing any difference in the amount of artillery. You claim to have added one gun per unit but I seem to be playing with the same amount of guns as default ntw3 (using large unit size).
2) Defensive AI behavior is broken, sort of. I had two battles with largely the same broken AI behavior: Enemy army attacks allied army with my army as reinforcement. Allied army is divided into a few sections, each section containing a few assorted units that are bunched up on the exact same location on the ground. At the start of the battle the enemy attacks, but allied army doesnt move, apart from their cavalry units and one or two line infantry. Other infantry stay bunched up, and they don't unlimber artillery. In fact, in one of the battles the allied army had five units of artillery, all of them limbered and killed in melee. This may all seem a bit confusing, if you wan't screenshots let me know.

Already existing units in a save file won't be affected by manpower changes. Stat changes ala accuracy etc apply on the fly but adding 10 cannons and loading old save only results x+10 if you recruit new battery.

[Bran Mac Born]

Mjarr the Artillery is cause blobbing issues will have to adjust the number of men on each unit and then test it out.

[Bran Mac Born]

UPDATE: New spotting rules for artillery,Light Cavalry,Skirmishers. Changed defensive behaviors for AI factions so they defend regions better. Tested to see if Artillery unlimbers and it does. Less men helps path finding. Both versions.

Oh I am aware of that. I simply explained that in drastically exaggerated manner that old saves won't take heed to altered amount of manpower or cannons to existing units, only those recruited after changes do.
